Ok so when I start having the beginnings of SP, i get what feels like electric jolts through my body and i start twitching. SP fades then comes back. Then, i have a feeling like someone is opening my eyes. If i relax and let my body go subconciously, my eyes just pop open and i dont even know it. I think its hypnogagnia and realize my smoke detectors light was on. I realized i had my eyes open for a while now. I still have SP but after this i get frusterated. Even when i try to stabilize my eyes, as soon as i get full body sleep paralysis, i loose breathing control... Why?!?! After this im not even tired, and pretty much toss and turn till I fall asleep. Another WILD fail.

I don't have an answer for you, I'm sorry, but I have the exact same problem as you with SP. My eyes always open even if I don't want them too, and when I try again, it happens all over again. For me I think it's because I'm not fully relaxed, which is difficult for me to achieve.

Hopefully someone has some advice for this, because I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong too! C:
